This is a fire that I photographed from Buck Hill this morning, November 3rd 2024 just after 7am. I'm uncertain where the fire is located or what the source of it is, but considering the recent spike in wildfires in Massachusetts, I suspect this is also a wildfire. The building at the lower left is the former Norwood Hospital, which would put this on a bearing for the towns of Medfield MA and Medway MA, perhaps Noon Hill Reservation or Shattuck Reservation. So far I have not been able to find any corroborating source for a fire in those towns.

NSW, Australia bushfires: This may be the first pyrocumulonimbus (Pyro CB) of the 2023/24 summer wildfire season in Australia. Remember when these fire thunderstorms were rare events? They have become more common with the #ClimateCrisis

"A fire generated thunderstorm (pyro-cumulonimbus) has formed over the Glens Creek Rd Fire, Nymboida, 30km south west of Grafton. As a result, there is a potential for escalation in fire behaviour, with erratic winds, dry lightning and significantly faster fire spread."
